Appeals

For £25 you can sponsor individual sleepers which will help extend the sidings and running line

Track Panels – SPONSOR ONE TODAY

Individual track panels can be sponsored at £400 for a 60 feet long panel. This is the ideal way to help out the organisation extend the running line and sidings.

Ballast Appeal – CAN YOU SPONSOR A TONNE?

30 tonnes of ballast is needed for each sixty foot “panel” of track. Each tonne of stone costs £30 to buy and transport from the quarry to Whitrope.

Although we welcome all donations, we’re looking for individuals to sponsor a tonne of ballast, a sleeper or a track panel, and we’ve got some attractive incentives on offer for all our appeals:

A special signed certificate for each donation of a sleeper, or a tonne or more of ballast or a track panel, and your name published on our “roll of honour” which will be displayed in the heritage centre coaches.

For donations of 5 tonnes or more of ballast or 4 sleepers, we’ll throw in a loco cab ride.

For donations of 10 tonnes or more of ballast, or for 8 sleeepers or a track panel, we’ll give you cab ride, a conducted tour of the site and high tea in the buffet car.
